BELLS
PREFACE.
A number of volumes might be written on the subject of clocks and bells, and their history. The subject matter is very interesting reading; but this is not a history of clock making. It is only a description of a clock which has been built for the University of Chicago by pupils of the Chicago Manual Training School, Boys ranging from 14 to 18 years of age. The theoretical and time calculations were made by the instructor; but the drawings, patterns and machine work are the work of the boys. The assembled drawings of the clock shown in Figs. 1 and 2, are the personal work of the whole Senior class of about 45 pupils, each one of whom had a particular part assigned to him; and after that part had been drawn in detail, it was put in its proper place in these drawings by the pupil who had made it, so that the assembled drawings are the composite work of the class.
A part of our course in drawing and machine design is the designing and building of some machine, and this clock is one in a list of machines which includes steam engines from six to ten horse power, a heavy drill press, a steam hammer, a cutter grinder and numerous other machine tools for the
